English wine plans for summer of celebration (UK)

English winemakers are planning for a summer celebrating wines from the UK. The English Wine Producers (EWP) has confirmed two key events for this year that should help the industry and trade capitalise on the Queen’s jubilee and London Olympics. With the annual EWP trade and press tasting taking place on 3 May and English Wine Week (Saturday 2 – Sunday 10 June) beginning on the Jubilee bank holiday weekend, it is hoped that the trade will seize the opportunity to promote the country’s wines, reports The Drinks Business.
